Where to Start
Start with the bedroom — you spend 8+ hours there. The three highest-impact changes: move phone away from bed, turn off WiFi router at night, and remove electronics from your child's sleep space. These are free and take 5 minutes.
Biggest Bang for Your Buck
The single most impactful change for most families: put your WiFi router on a $7 outlet timer so it shuts off during sleep hours. Your family spends 8-10 hours in the lowest-EMF environment possible with no behavior change required.
Night routine
Router off, phones airplane mode, no devices in bedrooms
Daytime habit
Phone on table (not pocket), wired when possible
